Eggs at last

I've been asking everyone I know why the chickens we bought over the summer weren't laying eggs. We got a few right after we brought them home (the guy said they were already laying) and then went months without anymore. I finally bought a few more, but they weren't laying yet, either. We finally gave up and decided we'd get some more in the spring. We hadn't been out to the barn in several days and were amazed to find over 2 dozen in the hen house!

After mentioning it to our neighbor, she told us she'd been finding eggs in her barn for a few weeks, too. Guess they decided it was time and didn't know where they were suppose to be! At any rate, we are still learning a lot about the farming business, but greatly enjoy this new addition to our menu. Nothing compares to home-grown eggs!
